A few more beautiful NASA Hubble Telescope photos for today. I used to print these poster size for teachers to use in their classrooms, and for parents who had kids interested in astronomy - they are awesome in large poster size prints!

Oregon Fine Art Gallery - Closing For Good - Really! But OregonArtGuy Blog will Still Be Here!

(Click pic to Enlarge)

Yep, OregonFineArtGallery.com is closing for good on Jan 1, 2009. If you haven't had a chance, take a look before the many thousands of pieces of art covering many periods and genres are gone from the internet for good. Like the one by James Tissot - "Young Lady in a Boat" Have Fun!

"I'm Sorry Dave"

Does anyone remember "2001, A Space Odyssey"? I'm sure if you're old enough you do. The onboard computer named "HAL" decided that the human occupants of the spacecraft were not doing things properly, so he took over, and would no longer listen to their commands. He was a pretty nasty fellow, and didn't mind doing whatever it took to thwart the humans efforts to gain control of the ship. But he was very polite about it - he always said "I'm Sorry Dave" after he did something bad to one of the humans. This picture from NASA reminded me of that - being left adrift in outer space. But its not as bad as it looks -

The suit is actually the world's latest satellite and was launched on Feb. 3, 2006. Dubbed SuitSat-1, the unneeded Russian Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with old clothes was fitted with a radio transmitter and released to orbit the Earth. (Enquiring minds want to know-Where do you find "OLD CLOTHES" in outer space??) If you would like to see a larger picture click here . I'm still working on Monet, but I'm getting closer.
